the new system of queuing up to be able to buy one is a mess.
you can get inside the store to purchase one only if you are lucky, that explain why 50 000 pieces was sold out in more than 3 minutes.
it took me half an hour to get inside the store and order a xiaomi m2s 16gb.
Check on their site but there’s nothing stated about WCDMA version.
